It 2 is Monday, July the 11th, 2022, 9 o'clock in the 3 morning, and Kerr County Commissioners' Court is now in 4 session. If you would, please turn your phones to mute 5 so they don't interrupt the proceedings, or off, that's 6 fine, too. 7 But with that, if you would please stand for 8 the prayer and the pledge, which will be led by 9 Commissioner Harris. 10 (Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance.) 11 JUDGE KELLY: Good morning. First part of 12 the agenda is always public input. This is your 13 opportunity to come and tell the Court what you want us 14 to hear. Unfortunately we don't have the opportunity to 15 respond, because we don't know what the topic is, but we 16 do have the opportunity to listen. We ask that you 17 identify yourself, and address, and limit your remarks 18 to three minutes, and deal on a topic that is not on the 19 agenda. If anyone would like to address the Court if 20 it's on the agenda, we would ask that you wait until 21 that agenda item is called. So with that, is there any 22 public input. 23 There being none, we'll go ahead and proceed 24 to Commissioner comments. Precinct 1. 25 COMMISSIONER BELEW: I heard a lot of people 6 1 talking about the sage blooming, and they knew it was 2 going to rain. Well, I pulled up to my house Saturday 3 morning and my driver's side window wouldn't go up on my 4 truck, so then I knew it was going to rain. And it did. 5 And it rained pretty good at our house. We appreciate 6 it. 7 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: I have nothing. 8 JUDGE KELLY: Four. 9 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: My rain gauge was dry, 10 but my sage was blooming. That's all I got. 11 JUDGE KELLY: Well, I'll add the sage is 12 blooming, and we got what I would call sympathy tears. 13 God cried on us, but we didn't get very much. Okay. 14 Anything else? 15 With that, we're going to pass on item one 16 and move on to item two, which is -- I'm going to ask 17 Jenna Sanchez, if she could come forward, up here with 18 us, and get to stand on the stage. Either side. 19 Well, it is my distinct honor to recognize 20 Jenna Sanchez, Jennifer Sanchez. But for those that 21 know her, we call her Jenna because she asked us to. 22 But for those of you who don't know, our regular 23 Veterans Service Officer has been out on active duty for 24 sometime now. Quite a period of time time as a matter 25 of fact. And she had done a wonderful job, so good that 7 1 when we brought Jenna in as part-time. 2 We thought we had the solution at hand. 3 That we had two great gals to do this, and we were 4 making great strides with veteran services. Then Marty 5 got called back to active duty, so then we took our 6 part-time veteran service officer and asked her to be 7 full-time, which she did, and has stayed that way. 8 And I can tell you that but for Jenna 9 Sanchez, Veteran Services would have been dead in the 10 water, frankly. And this is the above and beyond for 11 what you have done is -- and in the military, we 12 recognize this above and beyond the call of duty. It's 13 now above and beyond the call of duty, and this County 14 is eternally grateful to your services. 15 Congratulations. 16 (Photo time.) 17 JUDGE KELLY: I think we're old enough to 18 remember Paul Harvey and "The Rest of the Story". Well 19 the rest of the Jenna Sanchez story, I was supposed to 20 do that on Memorial Day and in the excitement of things 21 sitting there talking to the General, I forgot. So we 22 had to do it today, and I apologize, Jenna. 23 MS. SANCHEZ: Oh, thank you. I appreciate 24 it. 25 JUDGE KELLY: Very good. Then moving on 8 1 staying on the same topic with Veteran's Office, 1.3 2 consider, discuss and take appropriate action to accept 3 a quarterly report from the Veteran Advisory Council. 4 Gary Noller. 5 Gary, if you would please identify your 6 advisory council members, once you get to the podium, so 7 the public knows. 8 MR. NOLLER: Good morning. Gary Noller, 140 9 Ray Drive, Center Point. The Veterans Advisory 10 Committee is here. Byron Moore, Jeff Harris, Vicki 11 Marsh. And we also have Mark Del Toro in the back. He 12 was very helpful in the Memorial Day activity this year. 13 And like he could join us. 14 We certainly do appreciate the fact that you 15 recognize Jenna. We totally agree with you. She has 16 done a wonderful job, and we have received her quarterly 17 report. And I'm not going to go into the report, I 18 think you probably have it in writing. 19 But there are certain things that we look at 20 and we know she keeps busy, and we know she's meeting 21 the needs to what I call improving the light of 22 veterans, their dependents and survivors in Kerr County. 23 And this leads into kind of a second topic. 24 Talked about we had two slots, a full time and a part 25 time. Jenna's been working full-time, and we'd like to 9 1 request as a committee that the budget to be approved 2 that would allow for two full-time. If Jenna were to 3 want to extend beyond. I know she had conditionally 4 agreed to part-time. But if she would extend to go 5 full-time, as well as having a second full-time person 6 in there, if there would be funds to do that. 7 We ask for that because we believe there's a 8 demand. If she was sitting in there cutting coupons out 9 of the Sunday paper because she didn't have anything 10 else to do, that would be one thing. 11 JUDGE KELLY: We know that. 12 MR. NOLLER: But there's demand out there, 13 and certainly we would hope that the citizens of Kerr 14 County would not oppose such an increase in the budget. 15 The final thing I have here on my schedule 16 is in May of every year that the Department of Veterans 17 Affairs publishes what they call their geographical 18 distribution of expenditures. In which is broken down 19 in all counties through the United States, and the VA 20 basically states this is how much money the VA has 21 expended on behalf of residents in that County. 22 So I went back to 2012. The total 23 expenditures for Kerr County in 2012 was sixty million 24 dollars. Went back to 2022 -- the current report 2022, 25 which is the fiscal year 2021, which ended September 10 1 30th last year, so about 9 months behind on this report. 2 A hundred and three million dollars. So it went from 60 3 million to a hundred and three million, which is 73 4 percent increase. 5 Now, one might argue that there's adjusted, 6 and it is, some of that's adjusted, but not 70 percent. 7 So there's increase. At that same time the number of 8 veterans in the County decreased about ten percent. 9 Most of that's probably by us losing World War II 10 veterans, Korean War veterans, and Viet Nam veterans. 11 And the veterans following that block is not as big a 12 block as that World War II and Viet Nam block. 13 So in order to kind of get a gauge on 14 performance is like you're working with fewer people but 15 you're getting a lot more money, and it's got to be 16 accounted for just more than inflation is raising that 17 up there. 18 And I will say that I believe that a huge 19 amount of that is because of the work of Veterans 20 Service Officers, because if veterans don't have a 21 veteran service officer they can go to, they're probably 22 missing out on a whole lot of stuff they could get. 23 So that's one of the things that -- one of 24 the score cords, only one of the score cards is what can 25 you show for the expenditures that the VA is making in 11 1 your County. Because that's going to be reflected 2 through the work of your service officers. 3 So that's all I have today. If there's any 4 questions, be happy to answer them. 5 JUDGE KELLY: Any questions or comments? 6 One thing I would note, Gary, is I don't know if the 7 people at home really appreciate this, but the County 8 provide the Veterans Service Office here, and for the 9 employees to do this. And that's part of our local 10 government partnership with the Federal Government to 11 provide these benefits. One hand helps the other. And 12 that's been something that we in Kerr County have been 13 proud to provide for the benefit. So thank you very 14 much. 15 MR. NOLLER: Thank you. 16 JUDGE KELLY: Item 1.4 consider, discuss and 17 take appropriate action to approve the Thomson 18 Reuters/Westlaw Agreement for the Hill Country Regional 19 Public Defender's Office. 20 I don't see Vanessa. Is she here? 21 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Doesn't look like it. 22 MRS. GRINSTEAD: I do believe Heather 23 approved the agreement, so -- 24 JUDGE KELLY: This is a routine thing. It's 25 for the public defender's office, ultimately this will 12 1 transfer down to Medina County, but for the time being 2 keep the contract in place. 3 I'll go ahead and make a motion that we 4 approve this at least for the time being. 5 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 6 MRS. DOWDY: Authorization for you to sign? 7 JUDGE KELLY: Hu? 8 MRS. DOWDY: Authorization to sign same? 9 COMMISSIONER BELEW: It's just a contract. 10 JUDGE KELLY: It's a contract, I do. 11 MRS. DOWDY: All right. I'll put that in 12 there. 13 JUDGE KELLY: The last I checked I do. 14 Better ask the boss. Do I sign it? 15 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Did you say can you or 16 did you? We had a couple of those. 17 (Laughter.) 18 JUDGE KELLY: So with that, those in favor 19 raise your hand. Unanimous, four zero. 20 Moving on to item 1.5 consider, discuss and 21 take appropriate action to approve an agreement with 22 Enterprise Fleet Management for the lease of a new 23 vehicle for Precinct 4 Constable, and allow County Judge 24 to sign same. 25 Mr. Rider, you're back again. 13 1 CONSTABLE RIDER: I am back again. 2 JUDGE KELLY: Better news? 3 CONSTABLE RIDER: Unfortunately, no. We 4 were here probably a year ago. The current budget is 5 sixty-two eighty-six for a new vehicle. It still has 6 not been manufactured as I reported numerous times. 7 But they do have one available, should be 8 delivered this month. The exact date, I do not know. 9 But I did the math, and I've talked to Commissioner Letz 10 at one point, Auditor. It is what it is. The only 11 increase that I've added to the vehicle at all other 12 than the normal cost of the vehicle is the camera 13 system, that's financed in with it, and it's 9785 for 14 the camera system, and before the discussion or asking 15 questions, that's not the top of the line camera. 16 But one thing is for last year to now to the 17 current truck on the yearly amount it's $7,299.80 more. 18 I came to y'all before, and an increase, and it was 19 approved, but now that they -- still haven't 20 manufactured that increase, they got this truck, it's 21 even more money. 22 Previously on a monthly note, it was 23 somewhere in the neighborhood of 525, and now it's 24 somewhere in the neighborhood of 1132. So these my 25 dilemma, so that's why I came to you with these numbers 14 1 to see if we can move forward or not. 2 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Are you talking about 3 the payment, the monthly payment amount? 4 CONSTABLE RIDER: Yes, Sir. 5 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: 1132? 6 CONSTABLE RIDER: Yes, Sir. 7 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Versus five -- 8 CONSTABLE RIDER: Yes, Sir. And I tell you, 9 on June the first, I got a quote from Enterprise and it 10 was somewhere -- don't hold me to this number, but 11 somewhere in the neighborhood of 954, I believe. Seven 12 days later it's 1132.15. So I don't know -- I can't get 13 a straight answer why it increased other than the camera 14 is what they did use for example. Even if you took the 15 camera out, you're still looking at four or five hundred 16 dollars more than it was. 17 JUDGE KELLY: Well, I'm in one of my 18 dilemmas, because I really agree with Commissioner 19 Belew, I'm tired of not knowing what we can do. We need 20 to have a come to Jesus sit down meeting with Enterprise 21 to see where we are with this stuff. This is pretty 22 radical. 23 CONSTABLE RIDER: I agree. I've tried over 24 the phone -- 25 JUDGE KELLY: There's no question on you, 15 1 Brad, none whatsoever, or your office. 2 CONSTABLE RIDER: I talked to about three 3 different people to tell you the truth. And there's one 4 lady now that says she has the Kerr County account. And 5 the previous person that had -- that took a promotion 6 and moved out of state. So I don't know if that was 7 some of the problem. He knew things she didn't know, or 8 vice versa. But I don't have an answer for you either. 9 JUDGE KELLY: So they've got an account 10 representative. I want to talk to them in person. 11 CONSTABLE RIDER: Okay. 12 JUDGE KELLY: Set up a meeting. I don't 13 think -- I'm recommending no action on this until we get 14 to the bottom of this. We've gotta have a better 15 estimation. Doubling and coming in here with all this 16 stuff. 17 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: They did. They 18 doubled it. 19 JUDGE KELLY: They need to come talk to us. 20 This is getting ridiculous. And you're in the 21 crossfire. 22 CONSTABLE RIDER: I'm telling you I had the 23 same conversation on the phone. So I just got literally 24 stuttered, so -- 25 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Well, I think part of 16 1 what's happening is a lot of these people are realizing 2 this supply chain thing. No matter what side you're on 3 in economics supply and demand is the rule wherever you 4 go. And I think some of them are starting to figure out 5 that it works to their advantage, and this is textbook 6 example of having you over the barrel. If anybody ever 7 wondered what that expression means, this is what it 8 means. 9 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Well, it darn sure 10 looks that way. I agree. 11 COMMISSIONER BELEW: But they aren't the 12 only -- I mean I know we deal with them normally, but we 13 may not -- 14 JUDGE KELLY: And to your credit, this has 15 come up on vehicles time and time again, and we've been 16 lenient to try and go along to make sure we can go ahead 17 and provide the equipment that you need to do your job. 18 This is getting to the point where we need 19 to have a face to face with them to make sure we know 20 exactly where we are. 21 CONSTABLE RIDER: I've seen other 22 departments in here and seen the same issues, so -- 23 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Sheriff, can you allow 24 anything? I mean you're dealing with them on a much 25 larger scale. Are you having problems, or perceived in 17 1 the future, problems like this? 2 SHERIFF LEITHA: Well, they're going up. I 3 mean we haven't had a major issue yet. We're starting 4 to get our vehicles. We lack five yet. But you know 5 cost is going up. 6 JUDGE KELLY: And this is a conversation 7 that you are -- we want to certainly invite you to the 8 table. 9 SHERIFF LEITHA: I'll call and set it up. 10 I'm pretty close with them. 11 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Don't they consider us 12 a volume -- I mean a large client? Are we not one of 13 their large clients? 14 SHERIFF LEITHA: No, no. You got places 15 like Laredo, Houston who order hundreds and hundreds of 16 them. I mean they still find them for us. But what I 17 see like with everything else in the Sheriff's Office, 18 everything is go up. It's kind of demand and supply. 19 They are starting to get more, but you know they are 20 going up, the cost of them. 21 COMMISSIONER BELEW: So the issue is it's a 22 national company? 23 SHERIFF LEITHA: Yeah, they are. They're 24 set up all over. 25 COMMISSIONER BELEW: And we don't really 18 1 matter to them? 2 SHERIFF LEITHA: Well, I don't want to say 3 that, we don't matter to them. 4 COMMISSIONER BELEW: I just said it; you 5 don't have to say it. 6 SHERIFF LEITHA: Business is business. 7 COMMISSIONER BELEW: It's obvious we don't 8 matter a lot, because they're going to charge us full 9 retail and tag us with another ten percent, so that 10 doesn't sound like they care about our business that 11 much to me. 12 SHERIFF LEITHA: Yeah, I'm not going to 13 comment. But I mean they are getting us our stuff. But 14 I'll holler at them and get a meeting set up. 15 JUDGE KELLY: Good. Okay, thanks. 16 Moving on item 1.6 is to consider, discuss 17 and take appropriate action to approve a correction in 18 the FY-23 HEBP renewal. 19 And see the attachment there in your 20 materials. We approved a renewal application with TAC 21 for our insurance benefits, and the one item that needed 22 to be corrected had to do with the amount of the 23 county's contribution for the employee and spouse. 24 There's employee, there's employee and 25 spouse, and employee and family. And the employee and 19 1 family was, I think, 1740 a month as the county's 2 contribution -- and some change, the county's 3 contribution. And the amount that was put in the 4 initial application that I initialled and signed, we're 5 talking about signing and initialling. I signed it, 6 initialled it, we sent it to TAC to have the employee 7 and spouse at the same rate of 1740, and some change. 8 We learned from TAC that the correct amount 9 is a thousand 80, which is a savings. And it's what it 10 was the previous year, so it's more consistent. And so, 11 TAC helped us discover thiser or. We corrected it, and 12 what we're trying to do now is to ratify correcting that 13 application. 14 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 15 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 16 JUDGE KELLY: A motion and second to approve 17 the TAC application for the HEBP renewal. Any other 18 discussion? 19 MRS. GRINSTEAD: Sorry. Can part of that 20 be -- blank on the word. But the original court order, 21 we need to -- 22 COMMISSIONER BELEW: To rescind that. 23 MRS. GRINSTEAD: Rescind that. I wanted to 24 keep saying redact. But rescind the original court 25 order, because this is different paperwork. 20 1 JUDGE KELLY: Yeah. I'll include that we 2 rescind the original court order and supplement it with 3 this corrected court order in the exact amount. 4 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Good. 5 JUDGE KELLY: Any other discussion? Those 6 in favor raise your hand. Unanimous, four zero. 7 Item 1.7 consider, discuss and take 8 appropriate action to surplus two desks in the Kerr 9 County Attorney's Office. Mr. Moose. 10 MR. MOOSE: Yes, Your Honor. We -- 11 JUDGE KELLY: Go to the podium. We can't 12 see you. Just put you on YouTube, this is your debut. 13 MR. MOOSE: Hunter Moose, County Attorney's 14 Office. I just got a new desk. The desk that I had the 15 legs fell off as they carried it out of the -- 16 JUDGE KELLY: Well, quit sitting on it. 17 MR. MOOSE: So we just wanted permission to 18 allow Maintenance to dispose of the broken desk. 19 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 20 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 21 JUDGE KELLY: We've got a motion and a 22 second to approve the surplus of desks in the County 23 Attorney's Office. Any discussion? Those in favor 24 raise your hand. Thanks, Hunter. 25 MR. MOOSE: Thank you, Your Honor. 21 1 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. 1.8 consider, discuss 2 and take appropriate action to adopt the current IRS 3 mileage and meal rates, as may be amended. Miss 4 Shelton. 5 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. This is a follow-up to 6 our last Commissioners' Court meeting. So this wording 7 according to the County Attorney will allow us to change 8 our rates whenever the IRS changes there's. 9 COMMISSIONER BELEW: So just to continue. 10 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. 11 COMMISSIONER BELEW: What's the percentage 12 it went up this time? 13 MRS. SHELTON: Ooh, I don't have the 14 percentage, but it went up four cents. 15 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Okay. 16 MRS. SHELTON: For the mileage. 17 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Yeah. And then the per 18 diem -- 19 JUDGE KELLY: We'll get to that in the next 20 item. 21 MRS. SHELTON: Well -- 22 COMMISSIONER BELEW: It's going up. 23 MRS. SHELTON: -- and this includes both of 24 them. The motion in front of you right now would 25 include both of them. 22 1 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. That just ties us to 2 the IRS rates. 3 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. 4 JUDGE KELLY: That we're going to follow the 5 IRS rates? 6 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. 7 JUDGE KELLY: Good. Per diem and for 8 mileage. Good. 9 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 10 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 11 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and a second to 12 approve the motion as presented. Any discussion? Those 13 in favor, raise your hand. Four zero. 14 1.9 consider, discuss and take appropriate 15 action to assign meal rates as breakfast at 13 dollars, 16 lunch 18 dollars, and dinner 28 dollars. And this is a 17 County policy. 18 MRS. SHELTON: This is the rate that's 19 currently before us from the IRS, is 59 dollars. The 20 last rate that -- or the rate that Kerr County's been 21 following for a while is 46 dollars. It hasn't been 22 changed in a while. 23 JUDGE KELLY: And this changes it. 24 MRS. SHELTON: And this changes it to 59, 25 which is the current rate. And we're just saying 23 1 breakfast at 13, lunch 18 dollars, and dinner for 28. 2 There are times when the timing of your conferences that 3 you go to, you may get breakfast paid for as part of 4 your registration fee. So that's why we kind of break 5 it up instead of just a total rate. 6 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. 7 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: I move for approval. 8 COMMISSIONER BELEW: I'll second that. 9 JUDGE KELLY: We got a motion and a second 10 to approve this. Any discussion? Okay. Those in favor 11 raise your hand. Unanimous. 12 COMMISSIONER BELEW: I can say, I can eat a 13 lot cheaper. I know how to do it. I can teach them how 14 to do it if they are interested, you know. 15 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. Where we are in our 16 agenda right now, if you look down there, we have timed 17 items beginning at 1.10 through 1.15, which we're not 18 there. So we're ahead of schedule so we're going to 19 skip over to the approval agenda and go to 2.1, which is 20 the budget amendments. 21 MRS. SHELTON: You have six budget 22 amendments before you. Most of these are just inner 23 department transfers. We do have two that are hitting 24 the contingency. The first budget adjustment that you 25 see there is for professional services, and vehicle 24 1 insurance. 2 And then the second one that hits the 3 contingency is payroll contingency. We had a couple of 4 employees that went from like themself and then added 5 their family later, so that causes the amount that Kerr 6 County pays for that to go up. 7 COMMISSIONER BELEW: And that's through the 8 end of the fiscal year? 9 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. 10 COMMISSIONER BELEW: This amount? 11 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. Definitely. 12 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 13 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 14 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 15 approve the budget amendments as presented. Any 16 discussion? Those in favor raise your hand. Unanimous 17 four zero. 18 Item 2.2 pay the bills. 19 MRS. SHELTON: Invoices for today's 20 consideration, $692,927.95. 21 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 22 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Second. 23 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and a second to 24 approve the bills as -- pay the bills as presented. Any 25 discussion? Those in favor raise your hand. Unanimous. 25 1 2.3 late bills. 2 MRS. SHELTON: We have late bills of 3 $10,296.51. 4 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Move for approval. 5 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Second. 6 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and a second to 7 pay the late bills as presented. Any discussion? Those 8 in favor raise your hand. Unanimous, four zero. 9 Auditor reports? 10 MRS. SHELTON: Just a heads up. For several 11 months now the Treasurer's Office, the IT Department, 12 HR, and the Auditor's Office has been meeting concerning 13 Incode 10. So we will be bringing our recommendation 14 forward to you at the next meeting. 15 JUDGE KELLY: This a preview of coming 16 events? 17 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. 18 JUDGE KELLY: And just a brief explanation 19 so the public understands. Explain what Incode 10 will 20 do for us. 21 MRS. SHELTON: Incode 10 is our financial 22 system that we use, and so it is going to be an 23 improvement over Incode 9 that we've been using for a 24 long time. Part of the reason we're doing this move is 25 because the number of funds that the County has is over 26 1 a hundred. And so part of this move is so that we can 2 have more than a hundred funds at the County. 3 JUDGE KELLY: And the system we presently 4 have is limited to a hundred? 5 MRS. SHELTON: Limited to a hundred. 6 JUDGE KELLY: And so this is just a matter 7 of growth and assessing. 8 MRS. SHELTON: And there's a whole lot more 9 that we like about it, but that was the major -- 10 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Upgrades. 11 MRS. SHELTON: Yes. The reason that we 12 started it. 13 JUDGE KELLY: Very good. Any other 14 questions? Thank you. 15 2.5 monthly reports. 16 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Yes. For May, 2022 17 payroll report County Treasurer, Tracey Soldan. For 18 June, 2022 Environmental Health, OSSF, Director Ashli 19 Badders. District Clerk Dawn Lantz, Constable Precinct 20 1, Tommy Rodriguez, Precinct 2, Kyle Schneider, Precinct 21 3 Paul Gonzales, Precinct 4 Brad Rider. Justice of the 22 Peace Precinct 2, J. R. Hoyne. Precinct 3, Kathy 23 Mitchell. County Auditor, Tanya Shelton. 24 I move for approval. 25 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 27 1 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 2 approve the monthly report as presented. Is there any 3 discussion? Those in favor raise their hand. 4 Unanimous, four zero. 5 And finally, court orders. 6 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I haven't had a chance 7 to go through them yet for Commissioner Letz. 8 JUDGE KELLY: Commissioner Letz is absent 9 today so why don't we defer those until next court 10 meeting. 11 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Sound good. 12 JUDGE KELLY: So with that, we move on to 13 the information agenda. We usually don't get to this 14 this early. Any department heads have a status report 15 to make to the Court? 16 There being none, we'll move on to 3.2 17 elected officials. Miss Dowdy. 18 MRS. DOWDY: Quick announcement regarding 19 the CJIS reporting for criminal dispositions and 20 juvenile dispositions. In order to obtain the grant, 21 one of the qualifications is that the County make a 90 22 percent completeness percentage report, and we have hit 23 that. So yeah. Amen. 24 JUDGE KELLY: Good. This John Morris that 25 sends out the notices, and he's an eager beaver, I got a 28 1 notice every other day from him. But it kept us on our 2 toes. Congratulations. 3 MRS. DOWDY: It's a big County effort, I 4 think. Let me get back up here. 5 Several departments in the County make this 6 happen, and so I think it would be prudent for the Court 7 to maybe put on the agenda to recognize certain 8 individuals. Maybe put out an e-mail to certain 9 departments that may have their hand in it. I know I 10 have several in my office. I know the Sheriff's 11 Department at the jail has several people. Even people 12 over in Kerrville City Police Department. I mean at it 13 starts from the arrest all the way to the disposition, 14 and to make sure everything is reported correctly. So 15 that was -- 16 JUDGE KELLY: So the people understand what 17 we're talking about hear, the State requires reporting 18 from the counties with regard to our criminal cases, and 19 it's a very stringent requirement. And if we don't meet 20 their requirements then we lose our qualifications to be 21 able to receive grants. So it's a huge issue. And it 22 involved through many different departments here at the 23 County, a coordinated effort. 24 And that's what she's saying. And feel free 25 to put it on the agenda, we'll be happy to deal with it. 29 1 Because we appreciate the good work. Like I said, I 2 probably get at least what, two reminders a week? 3 MRS. GRINSTEAD: A lot. 4 JUDGE KELLY: And of course there's not much 5 I can do of course but ask y'all to do it. But I don't 6 even have to do it because y'all voluntarily do this and 7 keep us in compliance. And it's greatly appreciated. 8 MRS. DOWDY: So I'll get with the Sheriff's 9 Department and at least have a start to do this. All 10 right. 11 JUDGE KELLY: Good. Okay, 3.3 status 12 reports from any Liaison Commissioners? 13 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Probably isn't exactly 14 the spot to do it, but I'm going to do it anyway. I've 15 been talking to several people from Headwaters, and just 16 for the public's information, we jumped from stage 1 to 17 stage 3 as far as our drought situation, and that's 18 pretty drastic. I have at the next Commissioners' Court 19 kind of give a State of the Union where we're at and 20 where we're going, because quite frankly we don't see 21 any relief between now and two weeks from now anyway, 22 and just going to get worse. 23 So I think a little public awareness needs 24 to come about. And I think somebody from Headwaters 25 should be here to talk to us about it, and I just want 30 1 people to realize that restrictions are taking place for 2 permitting wells in the County. 3 JUDGE KELLY: Very good. 4 COMMISSIONER BELEW: They say that the lake 5 in Waco is down seven feet. It's going on all over the 6 state. 7 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Sure, we're not alone. 8 COMMISSIONER BELEW: We're not alone. 9 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Gotta be careful. 10 JUDGE KELLY: I think that's a good idea. 11 Now along those same lines what I would report is a lot 12 of people don't really appreciate the problems that 13 we've had with fires in West Kerr County. 500 acres 14 that was huge, fought it for several days. We had the 15 Texas Forest Service in here. We got tremendous 16 assistance from them. 17 Our Volunteer Fire Departments just -- I 18 mean above and beyond. Above and beyond in terms of 19 responding to this. And all of this was going on 20 backdrop to why I went ahead and finally issued the 21 disaster order on the fireworks is because when I've got 22 hundreds of fire fighters out there fighting 500 acres, 23 the last thing we need to do was to make it worse. And 24 from everything that I've observed looks like we had a 25 good result from that. So all things considered. I 31 1 want to thank everybody that was involved in helping 2 with the fire. I want to thank everyone who was 3 involved in helping us transition to not selling the 4 fireworks and put fireworks off this year. I think it 5 was something critical for the health and safety of the 6 citizens here. 7 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Well, we only have so 8 many volunteer fire fighters in the County. So if they 9 were all busy out there, even a small fire can really 10 get out of hand quick. 11 JUDGE KELLY: And we haven't had one that 12 big in a decade, have we? I don't think we have. 13 COMMISSIONER BELEW: The one up toward 14 Junction. 15 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. So with that. We've 16 come to the end of our regular agenda, except for the 17 timed items at ten o'clock. So everybody can go get a 18 cup of coffee and come back at ten and finish up, and 19 then we'll have a brief executive session on personnel 20 after that. 21 So we will be adjourned until ten o'clock. 22 (Recess.) 23 JUDGE KELLY: Court will come back to order. 24 It is ten o'clock, and the first item on the agenda for 25 the ten o'clock docket is item 1.10, which is a 32 1 presentation of the 2021 Annual Report for Kerr County 2 from the Texas Department of State Health Services. 3 And for those of you that heard us talk in 4 the past about DSHS, D-S-H-S, this is them. They're 5 here to talk to us today. We have a podium right here 6 and a camera, you're on YouTube by the way. This is 7 your stage debut. 8 MS. DIPIAZZA: All righty. Well, good 9 morning. Thank for your having us. My name is Nehilot 10 DiPiazza, I'm your Public Health Nurse with the Texas 11 Department of State Health Services, Region 8, in 12 Kerrville. Our office covers Kerr County and Gillespie. 13 And I wanted to give you a quick update on 2021, what 14 we've been doing this past year and going forward, what 15 our office is working on. 16 So I think for the most part, especially 17 with COVID, everyone knows what we've been doing. A lot 18 with COVID. The vaccine clinic. But I kind of wanted 19 to give everyone the overview of what our office does 20 and will continue to do. 21 Our Public Health Services provide health 22 and community education, immunizations for eligible 23 children and adults, and that's under insured, 24 uninsured, and children on Medicaid, and uninsured 25 adults. Tuberculosis treatment and contact 33 1 identification. HIV and STD testing, treatment, 2 referral, and education. 3 Of course communicable disease 4 investigations, like your COVID was one of those, 5 tuberculosis. Emergency preparedness and response. And 6 general sanitation and food establishment inspections 7 outside of Kerrville, because Kerrville has Mr. Daryle 8 Poe. 9 Our office falls under the Maternal and 10 Child Health Title V block grant umbrella. So we are 11 under the Community Health Improvement Program. The 12 maternal and child health addresses the needs of Texas 13 mothers, infants, children, and adolescents with and 14 without special needs. And we do provide services to 15 all ages. But of course our needs shift more toward the 16 younger population. 17 Our office -- our offices throughout the 18 region focuses on several national prevention measures. 19 These are the education and promotion of breastfeeding, 20 childhood and adolescent injury prevention, such as car 21 seat checks, the install, education, teen driving, water 22 safety, mental health, etc., obesity. And this is for 23 children, adolescents and adults. We partner with 24 AgriLife and the school advisory councils for this. 25 Promote wellness programs, nutrition, 34 1 exercise. Infant mortality. We provide education on 2 safety practices. And this is to parents and child care 3 workers. Just recently in June we had our last safe 4 sleep and shaken baby syndrome course for child care 5 providers, and we had over 80 child care workers from 6 our area. We did that last year, too. We've done that 7 a couple of times now. 8 Of course tobacco cessation, specifically 9 more towards women who smoke during pregnancy. Of 10 course we already covered immunizations. We also -- 11 our office provides the COVID vaccination, along with 12 the regular vaccinations. I believe this week we're 13 going to begin offering the six month to five year COVID 14 vaccine. I think our office might be one of the only 15 few in this area that's going to be providing that 16 vaccine. So we will have it available. 17 Like I mentioned before we do serve on the 18 School Health Advisory Councils for Kerrville, Center 19 Point and Ingram. We educate the community on human 20 trafficking. We are part of the Stop Human Trafficking 21 Task Force. So that is a task force that is comprised 22 of -- I'm thinking something look 18 counties or so in 23 the area. Especially being the area that we're in 24 human trafficking is a very large concern. 25 We are also doing our child fatality review. 35 1 So the State mandates each County have a CFRT that 2 reviews every child death that occurs in the County, in 3 that particular County. 4 We had a CFRT previously, but it went 5 dormant. This last year we've been working on 6 restarting it. And it's actually been in collaboration 7 with several agencies. So we've got the Kerr County 8 Sheriff's Department, Kerrville Police, Peterson 9 Hospital, Kerrville Fire Department, and we are kind of 10 a collaboration of four different counties. So right 11 now we are combined with Gillespie, Bandera and Kendall. 12 And that's going real well so far. That's been great. 13 So we are reviewing all of the child deaths 14 that do occur in each of our counties. We do meet 15 quarterly, in hybrid model and in person and online, and 16 each quarterly meeting at a different location within 17 our prospective counties. 18 We are also inspect, install, distribute and 19 educate parents about child care -- or sorry, child car 20 seats. Excuse me. That is still a major problem in our 21 state. And right now working on the heatstroke 22 awareness campaign. 23 So I believe earlier today Chief Gordon with 24 the fire department asked about the thermometer display, 25 so we're working with them on that. And we're also 36 1 starting a breastfeeding coalition for Kerr, Bandera, 2 Gillespie, and Kendall. And especially with this last 3 year, our formula shortage, by wanting to help encourage 4 and keep our mothers breastfeeding for longer. And it's 5 to provide resources to all the mothers in our area. 6 And I also kind of wanted to go down and 7 give you a quick overview of how -- our immunization 8 numbers in our County. So we have on the report, on the 9 actual County report, it has the percent of students 10 with conscientious exemptions from immunizations filed 11 at the school district level in Kerr County is 2.49 12 percent down from 2.96 percent in 2020. So we actually 13 had less students get conscientious exemptions from 14 immunizations. 15 And down below, you can see our public 16 health by the numbers. For 2021 we had 4,644 confirmed 17 cases of COVID-19. 95 COVID-19 deaths in 2021. 166 18 cases of STD's, including HIV and AIDS. 23 retail food 19 inspections. 12 school cafeterias inspected. 22 youth 20 camp inspections. Ten clients received case management 21 services through the Specialized Health and Social 22 Services Program. 8 rabies investigations conducted. 7 23 rabies positive animals found. And out of those we did 24 have a family that we had to give the rabies 25 immunoglobulin vaccine. One animal quarantined. 46 37 1 general sanitation inspections. 2 And then right here you'll see on the little 3 pie chart the notifiable conditions summary. The 4 biggest one is the foodborne and waterborne illness. 5 The rest are -- well actually, we didn't have any 6 healthcare associated conditions to report. And no 7 vaccine preventable diseases to report for this year. 8 And that is it. Thank you very much. And 9 do you have any questions for me? 10 JUDGE KELLY: Any questions or comments? 11 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Pretty thorough. 12 MS. DIPIAZZA: I did want to introduce real 13 quickly, I didn't get to do it, I kind of went into it. 14 So with me today is Norma Cordona-Price and -- 15 JUDGE KELLY: The public needs to see. 16 MS. DIPIAZZA: You get on YouTube; not just 17 me. 18 MS. HULTEEN: Hi, my name is Brenda Hulteen. 19 I work with Nehilot and Norma, and Bridget here is our 20 supervisor. I'm a nurse at the DSHS also. 21 MS. PRICE: I'm Norma Cordona-Price. I also 22 work with Nehilot and Brenda. I'm a community health 23 specialist. I'm also a community health worker and a 24 child passenger safety instructor. 25 MS. WAHLER: And good morning, my name is 38 1 Bridget Wahler, and I started out as a public health 2 nurse. Still have my nursing license, but have taken a 3 supervisor role, so get to supervise all of these 4 wonderful staff. So very nice to have us. Thank you. 5 JUDGE KELLY: It's good to have y'all here. 6 Thanks for coming. Appreciate it. 7 And I do have attached -- if you have any 8 questions, I have my business card attached to the 9 report. 10 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. Very good. Thank you. 11 Okay. Next item ten o'clock is 1.11 12 consider, discuss and take appropriate action to 13 authorize the County Judge to execute a change order 14 with LCR Total Transport, LLC in the amount of 15 $11,051.70 for changes to the Road Reconstruction 16 Project on Sheppard Rees Road. Charlie Hastings. 17 MR. HASTINGS: Thank you, Judge. A meeting 18 was held on June 21st, 2022 with Commissioner Precinct 1 19 Harley Belew, the County Engineer and County Road 20 Administrator, LCR Total Transport, and various Road & 21 Bridge supervisors and Engineering Department personnel 22 to discuss the need for a change order to close out the 23 2022 Road Reconstruction Project. 24 Job C of the project, which was Sheppard 25 Rees Road has a typo in line item C5 of the bid 39 1 tabulation where the unit price and total amount are 2 listed as not applicable, but they were applicable in 3 the construction documents, and they should have been 4 left blank for the contractor to fill in said unit price 5 and the total for 2,251 linear feet to "Install 6 centerline double yellow pavement striping, that's sites 7 one and two only, complete in place". 8 Now, the contractor has done the striping. 9 It had to be done. There was some gaps on Sheppard 10 Rees. Remember we had areas that were destroyed by the 11 winter storm, and we had other areas in between, that it 12 makes no sense to reconstruct and skip over. If you're 13 there you just do it all. And that was a typo in the 14 plan, in the bid. 15 In addition -- anyway, if we were to extend 16 the contractual unit price of $1.70 per linear foot from 17 line items A1 from job A -- I'm sorry, A5 and B5 from 18 jobs A and B, it yields a total amount of $3,826.70 that 19 we owe this contractor for doing this work. And that's 20 for line item C5. 21 In addition, soft spots of caliche subgrade 22 were encountered in the limestone base for two short 23 stretches, each about 150 feet long, in Sites #1 and 2 24 of Job C of Sheppard Rees Road resulting in the need for 25 replacing and processing the substandard material with a 40 1 heavy rock base. These soft spots are presumed to be 2 from poor construction techniques when Sheppard Rees 3 Road was originally constructed approximately 20 years 4 ago. 5 Kerr County Road & Bridge provided the heavy 6 rock base for LCR to incorporate into the soft spots. 7 This resulted in about one and a half days of extra 8 equipment and manpower for LCR Total Transport, 9 totalling $7,225.00. 10 The total of this change order is 11 $11,051.70. There is no change in the allotted time to 12 complete the project. All construction was completed on 13 June 7th, 2022. This proposed change order results in 14 an increase of roughly three percent over the original 15 contract amount. 16 The County Engineer requests that the Court 17 authorize the County Judge to execute the change order 18 with LCR Total Transport, LLC. in the amount of 19 $11,051.70 for changes to the 2022 Road Reconstruction 20 Project on Sheppard Rees Road. This is Precinct 1. 21 COMMISSIONER BELEW: As I listen to the 22 explanation of this and meeting with these guys, what 23 they ran into with the substandard material under 24 beneath, could have been part of the reason for the road 25 failure. So when they discovered it, they had to fix 41 1 it, that's the conscientious thing to do as a 2 contractor, and then hope that we would pay them for it. 3 So -- and they didn't really charge us for everything 4 they did. So I move for approval. 5 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Second. 6 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and a second to 7 approve the change order as requested. So they did 8 something right and now we're going to do right by them. 9 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Yes. 10 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. Fair enough. With 11 that, those in favor raise your hand. Unanimous. 12 Moving on to item 1.12, which is consider, 13 discuss and take appropriate action for the Court to 14 approve a revision of plat for Y.O. Ranchlands, Tracts 15 46B, 46C and 49A, Precinct 4. Charlie Hastings. 16 MR. HASTINGS: Thank you, Judge. We did 17 hold a public hearing on this on June 13th. The plat 18 just didn't have the all the signatures at that time. 19 But just as a recap this proposal adjusts and combines 20 three existing tracts into two tracts. Tract 46B is 21 currently 42 acres. Tract 46C is currently 42.05 acres. 22 And tract 49A is currently 45.88 acres. There's some 23 pretty big lots here. 24 They will be revised into just two tracts. 25 Tract 46BR and 49AR. Tract 46BR will be 63.03 acres 42 1 with road frontage on Camino Y.O West, and Tract 49AR 2 will be 66.90 acres with frontage on Camino Y.O. West 3 and Indian Camp Road. 4 County Engineer requests the Court approve a 5 revision of plat for Y.O. Ranchlands, Tracts 46B, 46C, 6 and 49A, Volume 5, page 345 and Volume 6, Page 128, 7 Precinct 4. 8 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: I move for approval. 9 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 10 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 11 approve the revision of plat for Y.O. Ranchlands as 12 presented. Any discussion? Those in favor raise your 13 hand. Unanimous, four zero. Okay. 14 Mr. Earney, we're now getting to you. Item 15 1.13, this is a public hearing to discuss the closure of 16 the 100 block of Kelly Street during school hours on 17 regular school days from Monday through Friday, 7:45 18 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Center Point Independent School 19 District will place the barricades up each morning and 20 remove them in the afternoon. 21 This is a public hearing. Is there anyone 22 here that would like to address the Court with regard to 23 this matter? There being none, then I'll adjourn the 24 public meeting, and we'll move on to item 1.14, which is 25 to consider, discuss and take appropriate action 43 1 regarding the closure of the 100 block of Kelly Street 2 during school hours on regular school days from Monday 3 through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The Center Point 4 Independent School District will place barricades up 5 each morning and remove them in the afternoon. Michael 6 Earney. 7 MR. EARNEY: Yes, Sir. Commissioners, 8 Judge, thank you again for having me here. My name is 9 Michael Earney, I'm the Center Point ISD Chief of 10 Police. I discussed previous property owners have been 11 notified in writing, and/or they were hand delivered and 12 mailed. Also, one of the property owners is a retired 13 superintendent of Center Point. All his kids have 14 graduated from Center Point, so they understand the 15 urgency that we have in the safety of our kids on Kelly 16 Street. So everything was posted in the newspaper, and 17 approved, and also posted on our website. 18 JUDGE KELLY: Very good. 19 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: I met with Charlie on 20 this issue and went over the whole thing. And the best 21 I can tell they've provided -- they've got a problem, 22 and they've solved the problem and I appreciate the way 23 they've done it. I move for approval. 24 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 25 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 44 1 approve the recommendation to close Kelly Street as 2 presented. Any discussion? Those in favor raise your 3 hand. Unanimous, four zero. 4 And then follow-up 1.15 consider, discuss 5 and take appropriate action to approve the Interlocal 6 Agreement with Center Point Independent School District 7 regarding the use of the Hill Country Youth Event Center 8 as an evacuation center in case of emergency. Chief 9 Earney. 10 MR. EARNEY: Yes, Sir. As an oversight on 11 my part in 2021 -- 2020-2021, I came to the Court and 12 asked for permission to use it. I didn't realize until 13 updating my emergency operations plan this year that it 14 was only active, or only good, valid for one year. So I 15 missed out on the 2021-22 school year. So I apologize 16 for that. 17 And I'm just asking for reconsideration to 18 allow Center Point as our reunification site. We have 19 off-campus evacuation sites that we use temporarily. 20 But if we have to have a big all scale evacuation where 21 school is closed, then we would like the Court's 22 permission to be able to use the Exhibit Hall as our 23 reunification site for parents to pick up kids. 24 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: I move for approval. 25 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 45 1 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 2 approve using the Hill Country Youth Event Center as an 3 evacuation for CPISD. 4 Good thing you didn't have an emergency, you 5 wouldn't have had any place to go, right? 6 COMMISSIONER BELEW: I think they'd have let 7 him in. 8 JUDGE KELLY: We understand. We renew it 9 from year for year, and trust me, we would have taken 10 care of you. 11 CHIEF EARNEY: Yes, Sir. I understand. I 12 apologize to the Court. It was an oversight on my part. 13 I just didn't think that it was for a year. So I'm 14 sorry. So we're good now. 15 JUDGE KELLY: Everybody makes a mistake. 16 Any other discussion? Those in favor raise your hand. 17 Unanimous. Thank you. 18 CHIEF EARNEY: Thank you. 19 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. I think that concludes 20 our docket, except for executive session. So we'll -- 21 oh, we have one correction to make. 22 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: We got a couple. 23 First of all on our monthly reports, I inadvertently for 24 May 2022 read payroll report, and it should have been 25 monthly report, so I'd like to amend that. And with 46 1 that, I move for approval of the correction. 2 JUDGE KELLY: And item 2.5 on the agenda. 3 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Yes, Sir. 4 JUDGE KELLY: And we're going to amend that 5 to include the monthly report. 6 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Monthly report as 7 opposed to payroll report as to earlier. 8 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 9 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and a second to 10 amend the approval as presented. Any discussion? Those 11 in favor raise your hand. Unanimous. 12 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: During the break I was 13 also able to read over the court orders. And court 14 orders 39387 through 39406 from Monday 06-27-2022 15 regular meeting, and they all look in order. So I move 16 for approval. 17 COMMISSIONER GIPSON: Second. 18 JUDGE KELLY: Got a motion and second to 19 approve court orders as presented. Our extended break 20 actually benefited. 21 COMMISSIONER HARRIS: Yes, it did. 22 JUDGE KELLY: And got all this stuff fixed 23 up. And with that. Those in favor raise your hand. 24 Unanimous. It's been a very successful docket today. 25 We're going to go ahead and adjourn at this time into 47 1 executive session. And we have personnel matters, and 2 then we'll come out after that, so the Court stands in 3 recess. 4 (Executive Session.) 5 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. It is 11:35, and we're 6 coming out of executive session and we're back on the 7 record, and call item 5.1, which is action as may be 8 required on matters discussed in executive session. 9 And I will make a motion that we accept the 10 resignation of Jennifer Doss as the Human Resources 11 Director here in Kerr County, effective immediately, and 12 authorize me to send her a letter accepting her 13 resignation, and schedule a specific time for her to 14 come pick up her personal affects. 15 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Second. 16 JUDGE KELLY: Any discussion? All in favor 17 raise your hand. 18 MR. MOTHERAL: Can I make a suggestion? 19 That we get property returned, Kerr County property 20 needs to be returned. 21 JUDGE KELLY: Okay. Well, let's go back to 22 what we put in the letter. We put in the letter that we 23 accept the resignation immediately. We set an 24 appointment for her to be able to return property, Kerr 25 County property, and for her to be able to pick up her 48 1 personal effects.
